Classic Pumpkin Pie
This recipe — the gold standard for pumpkin pie — was created by the Libby’s brand of canned pumpkin. We (along with most Americans!) agree there’s hardly a better version out there. It’s the pie that sets the standard and the one most people picture when they hear “pumpkin pie.”
